Do the fetuses that were removed have souls?

1. I think the Idiot response would be...
"But they were already with Jesus since they died at four months, Praise the Lord!".....

2. Maybe not in SD....
The fetuses were dead. IF they had souls, they had "moved on" by the birth of their sister. :shrug:

3. According to the Roman Catholic Church, yes
Never mind that they were from the same fertilized ovum, although that in itself might provoke a lot of philosophical discussions by men who haven't a clue about reproduction beyond the sperm meets egg point. If they hadn't died already, this would have been a sinful abortion, never mind they'd have killed the host infant had they been allowed to grow.

There are also things called teratomas, tumors present from birth that originated as twins but were partially absorbed by the born twin's body. They are discovered when they cause problems later in life. They have their own DNA, so is removing them an abortion, too?

Honestly, fellas, it's just a lot easier to leave the decision up to us, the ones whose lives are at risk from pregnancy and childbirth. Otherwise you're going to find yourselves facing jobs examining used sanitary napkins to find out whether or not the wearer might have committed involuntary manslaughter when she had that last period.

4. The teratomas pheonmena -
makes me realize that mother nature is indifferent and sometimes cruel, which actually solidifies my pro-choice stance.

5. Nope, she's not a Christian.
And she wasn't debased and...what was it now??...sodomized in the most horrific way possible, all the while pleading for her virginity.

Nope, no way....sorry...move along.
